Liposuction in India – Know about Procedures, Cost and Benefits of undergoing liposuction abroad in India

Liposuction in India

There are many areas on our body that have disproportionate
contours owing to localized fat deposits. Liposuction or Lipoplasty is a
cosmetic surgery procedure that reshapes and recontours specific target areas
of the body by removing excess bulging fat deposits. Liposuction removes
stubborn fat deposits from thighs, hips, inner knees, calves, ankles, waist,
back, arms, chest, chin and cheeks. Liposuction may be performed with other
cosmetic procedures such as tummy tuck, breast lift or facial rejuvenation. The
candidates for liposuction are those who are above 18 years of age and are
physically and mentally healthy with realistic expectations from the surgery.

Liposuction procedure
and Types

Liposuction
procedure is performed under general or local anaesthesia depending upon the
patient’s preference and surgeon’s choice. Following anaesthesia, small
incisions are made inconspicuously on the target areas. The sterile liquid
solution is infused to reduce bleeding and trauma and then a thin hollow tube
or cannula is inserted through the incisions. The fat is dislodged in a
controlled manner and suctioned out using a syringe.

The other names for liposuction are – Lipoplasty,
liposculpture or suction lipectomy. There are various a technique by which
liposuction is done, for instance – Tumescent liposuction, Ultrasound-Assisted
Liposuction (UAL), Vaser Liposuction, Body Jet Liposuction.

Super wet technique: The procedure involves injecting
a local anesthetic and adrenaline into the target tissue. The solution results
in break up and removal of fat deposits. The extra fluid also helps in
minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissue thereby reducing swelling and
post-operative pain.

Tumescent Liposuction: This technique is similar to super
wet technique except that this method uses large amounts of injected liquid
solution. The outcomes of Tumescent Liposuction are similar to those associated
with “super-wet” liposuction.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): The treatment
modality used in Ultrasound – Assisted Liposuction is “super-wet” or “tumescent”
liposuction. UAL uses sound waves to liquefy fat deposits following injection
of fluids. The sound waves break – up the fat deposits and minimize trauma
resulting in less bruising and blood loss.

Dry Liposuction: This liposuction technique is not
frequently used today. This early method of liposuction required general
anesthesia and was absent of a liquefying agent.

Liposuction abdomen is among the most commonly performed cosmetic
surgeries. The procedure is especially useful for those who have not been able
to budge the fat which is resistant to diet or exercise.
